Ventura teachers, other workers set date for planned strike

(This story has been updated to correct an error regarding the expiration dates of the previous union contracts.) Teachers and other school employees in Ventura will go on strike on Dec. 2 if they haven’t agreed on a new union contract by then. The union for teachers and the one for other employees held a news conference Nov. 12 outside of the Ventura Unified School District’s adult education center, where union members and leaders announced the upcoming strike date. Members of the two unions voted nearly unanimously last month to authorize a strike if they couldn't reach an agreement with the district on a new contract. With almost 14,000 students, Ventura Unified is the fourth largest school district in Ventura County. A strike would be the first in the district's history, and probably the first in the county's history, union officials said. "We are ready to fight for a fair and equitable contract," said Carol Peek, the president of the union for most non-teacher employees. "We are ready to strike for an agreement that we all deserve." The two sides are still trying to avert a strike. The bargaining teams met twice earlier in the week, days before the union's

Ventura Unified board puts plan to close schools on pause

Ventura Unified School District leaders have promised families that they will no longer close any of its 26 campuses next school year. During a Nov. 10 meeting, the five board of education members agreed to pause their plan to close schools , which was initiated roughly a year ago to avoid further layoffs amid declining enrollment and looming budget deficits. If the board does decide to close any campuses, they will not do so before the 2028-29 school year, trustees said. “We have put people through a rollercoaster of emotions and we have to own that, but I don’t think that moving forward just to not have people stay uncomfortable in the uncertainty is the right decision,” Trustee Sabrena Rodriguez said. The school closures advisory committee, made up of 23 parents, teachers, students and other volunteers, met eight times from March through October and ultimately submitted its list of recommendations to the board last month. The group did not recommend closing any of the district’s four middle schools or five high schools. Instead, the committee recommended Lemon Grove School as its top choice for closure, followed by Mound Elementary, Poinsettia Elementary, E.P. Foster Elementary, Sheridan Way Elementary and Junipero Serra

School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).
